Quote:Why do you consider it white supremacy to stand up for all victims?I don't. I consider the dissemination of white supremacist propaganda to be white supremacy.
Quote:Why are hate crimes/ violence against whites the only ones that can not be mentioned? Who are the ones who are really being racist here?If you ask questions to get answers, that would be you. This is the rhetoric of the white victimization complex, contemporary white supremacy's primary recruiting tool.
Discrimination, rights abrogation, stigmatization and the denial of pride, loss of self-esteem, and racial elimination.
Quote:Fighting whiteness is brought up non-stop by BLM activists when they do interviews.Excellent, lets see one. And the thing about kneeling and apologizing? Find the time to source that yet? I can spoil the surprise if you like.
Bureau of Justice Statistics. It was in the link that I posted on the last page.
White supremacists bringing up black on white crime does not equate to anyone bringing up black on white crime being a white supremacist. You're making that connection because you want to make that connection. If whites are demonized because a black guy running down the street is approached and ends up shot, then I think it's fair to point out that that demonization is unfair to the average white person. We commit far less violence against blacks than they do against us. I'm not using that as a racist dog whistle. I'm stating a fact to disprove the idea that whites are the boogeyman out to get you. We're not living in the days anymore where the Klan is going around hanging a bunch of people. Let's not demonize whites as the boogeyman out to get you, and let's also not demonize blacks either and make them out to be the boogeyman. Wouldn't that be a better way to go about things? I think so.
White victimization complex? Why don't you say Asian victimization complex when they tell people to stop discriminating against them or committing hate crimes against them over the SARS-Cov-2 situation? Double standards.

Whiteness means different things to different people, but it's just an extremely divisive way of talking about what one perceives to be the problem. Imagine someone going on the news and saying we need to combat blackness, or we need to combat Jewishness. If these activists want more support, don't demonize the word white. Speak out against injustice and racism, not 'whiteness'. And as far as the bending the knee thing that I brought up before, that was meant both figuratively and literally. White silence equals violence is what's being said, and maybe I'm wrong, but I take that as either you support our agenda, or you're a racist. A black basketball player chose not to kneel before the game when everyone else did, or wear the BLM shirt, and a sports journalist seriously asked him, "Do you believe that black lives matter?" And then there's stuff like this happening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA-mbSkQM6M
Of course blacks are right to demand a black agenda from political candidates. Of course they are right to demand better treatment from the legal system. Of course they are right to not want to see black people getting beat down like Rodney King, or shot in the back running away. They're right to be against no knock warrants. They're right to demand more funding for education and more investment in their communities. If you don't see how these protests/riots are getting way out of hand though, I don't know what to tell you. Murder rates are up. Violent crime is up. People are being dragged out of their cars and beaten. Rioters are targeting people based on their race. Blocking ambulances. Attempting to burn down court houses. Pouring cement infront of the doors of police precincts and attempting to set the place on fire. That's attempted murder. This has gone far past the point of being a protest at this point. I support the betterment of black people's lives, believe it or not, but I don't have to support this nonsense going on in the streets to prove that, or support things like defunding the police which most black people don't even want to have happen anyways.
